A line having a slooe of 3/4 passes through the point (2,-3)

1 answer:

5 0

Slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept

Data:
slope=3/4
(2,-3) ⇒y₀=-3 when x₀=2

We have to find "b"; therefore:
y=mx+b
-3=(3/4)(2)+b
3/2+b=-3
b=-3-3/2
b=-9/2

Answer: y=(3/4)x-9/2

Other method:

Point-slope form; we need a point (x₀,y₀) and the slope (m).
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)

Data:
m=3/4
(2,-3)

y+3=3/4(x-2) Point-slope form
y+3=(3/4)x-3/2
y=(3/4)x-3/2 - 3
y=(3/4)x+(-3-6)/2
y=(3/4)x-9/2

Answer: the line will be: y=(3/4)x-9/2

PLEASE HURRY <br> What is the measure of M?<br> 52<br> Р<br> 78°<br> M

vodomira [7]

Answer:

50 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle sum property of the equilateral triangle is =180 degree

since, 52 degree +78 degree +x =180 degree

130 degree + x =180 degree

x= (180-130) degree

<h3> x= 50 degree</h3>

A paint manufacturer discovers that the mean volume of paint in a gallon-sized pail is 1 gallon with a standard deviation of 0.0

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Approximately 68%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 1, standard deviation = 0.05.

Estimate the percent of pails with volumes between 0.95 gallons and 1.05 gallons.

0.95 = 1 - 0.05

1.05 = 1 + 0.05

So within 1 standard deviation of the mean, which by the Empirical Rule, is approximately 68% of values.

Boyd grows only tomatoes and raspberries in his garden. Last year, he grew 140 pounds of tomatoes and 60 pounds of raspberries.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

29%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Boyd grew 140 pounds of tomatoes and 60 pounds of raspberries. This year, the production, by weight, of tomatoes declined by 20 percent, and the production, be weight, of raspberries declined by 50 percent.

First of all, we will find the weight of tomatoes and raspberries using the given information.

Since the production, by weight, of tomatoes declined by 20 percent, so this year production of tomatoes is 80% of 140 pounds.

$\frac{80}{100}\times 140=0.80\times 140=112$
